-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
You'll find yourselves at the mouth of a cave. Then Bidoof will explain about
the Kangaskhan Rocks. It lets you take/store items from Kangaskhan Storage
and also lets you save your progress.
Then your partner opens the wonder map and tells you the strategy.
You'll have two options to go.
~Craggy Coast
~Side Path
The first one lets you continue with the story line and the second one is for
the sake of leveling up. [Thanks to Carlos pit for this info.]
So, choose the first one. Or if you are not confident, choose the Side path.
So, I will also include it.

Then you'll all decide to rest and spend the night there.

==============================================================================
Note:
This dungeon does not need any special tactics to cross. If you
want to cross quickly, avoid battles.
==============================================================================
CHAPTER 8:- GROUDON'S HEART
As you cross the dungeon, Chapter 8 pops up. You'll realize that you were
the last group to reach the camp.
Then you'll get a weird feeling that you know this place. But you'll not know
how you know this place.
No time to wonder...You have not got all the day.
Chatot's Expedition strategy:
You'll notice that you are in a densely forested area. Deep in this forest
somewhere...is hidden the FOGBOUND LAKE and it's TREASURE.
Then Chimecho tells that it had heard a legend while traveling here, that
Fogbound lake is the home to a pokemon called Uxie, which is very rare.
It has the power to lock it's eyes with anyone and wipe their memories
clean. That's why even if the travelers find the fogbound lake, they'll
not remember a thing about it.
Then chatot will continue with the plan.
Chatot and the Guildmaster will stay there to receive intelligence from
the teams. Then you all are supposed to go explore the forest in groups.
But you have to remember that once you enter the forest the visibility
is severely restricted. Perhaps the discovery of the fogbound lake is
prohibited due to the fog...
So, your search is two-fold. One, search for fogbound lake. And two,
find a way to lift the fog. If you accomplish either thing, return to the
base camp and inform Chatot or the Guildmaster. That's all.
HOORAY!!!
Let's do our best!!!
Then you'll think about your memory loss and Uxie...Is there any connection
between them? Or is it just a coincidence??
Kangaskhan Rock:
$AVE P0!NT
Again you'll have two paths.
~Foggy Forest
~Forest path
It's the same as before. First one -Storyline. Second one -Leveling up.
I advise you to level up in the forest path.

Before you enter the dungeon, your partner will find a red coloured gem.
Your partner will take that. Then it'll say that it's hot and somewhat weird.
After you level up in the forest path, get going to the foggy forest.

NOTE$:
------
~The weather would be foggy. So accuracy is very less.
~The dungeon is good for some exp points.
==============================================================================
After you cross the dungeon, you'll see some waterfalls and your partner says
that he can't even tell which way to go, as the fog is thick.
Suddenly you'll hear someone calling you. It's none other than Corphish.
It'll show you an interesting statue of a pokemon. Something will be written
there in footprint runes. Your partner will read it.
"Reignite the life that burned within Groudon...Then the sky shall blaze with
the sun's heat...The path to treasure shall be revealed."
Then you'll touch the statue of Groudon and you WILL see something.
No! Not "see"... that is "hear" something.
"That's it!"
"It's here!" "It's here!"
"I see!"
"Place the drought stone in Groudon's Heart."
"That lifts the fog."
"Very well done! Good job, partner."
Then you'll wonder if that drought stone is the red gem, your partner picks
before going into the dungeon.
Then you'll put the stone in the small hollow in the statue's chest.
Then suddenly the fog lifts. Hooray!!!
Then your partner will show you and Corphish a lake on a 'cliff' or something
like that. That is it...That is the fogbound lake.
$AVE P0!NT
Then Corphish goes away to let everyone know this matter and tells you to
go on ahead.
HOLD! IT!
Who's that???
It's...TEAM SKULL!!!
Then they'll thank you for solving the mystery for them. And what's more?
They plan to use their noxious gas combo again.
Suddenly....Guildmaster and his perfect apple make their entry. Then he'll
ask you two to continue with your job.
Then you'll go off ! Then Skuntank will ask the Guildmaster that they also
want to explore...But he'll tell them that he can't trouble his friends. So,
he'll tell that you two would do the exploring, and they'll wait for their
report.
Then Team Skull decides to take down Wigglytuff. Then Skuntank and Koffing
do their noxious gas combo.
"No hard feelings. But the famous explorer is finished..." with these words
they do their combo and Wigglytuff will be......(finished...)
==============================================================================
CHAPTER 9: THE MYSTERY OF FOGBOUND LAKE
Your partner sees a big fissure and you both will plan to enter through there.
Kanghaskhan Rock:
$AVE P0!NT
==============================================================================
STEAM CAVE:
TOTAL FLOOR$: 8
CLIENT :None
BO$$ BATTLE :Nope

|Magby |Fire |1-8 |
|Numel |Fire/Ground |1-8 |
#--------------------------------------------#
==============================================================================
Meanwhile back at the Groudon statue, you'll see that our Guildmaster
is fit like a fiddle. Nothing has happened to him. Then at last they'll
use their noxious gas combo at the Wigglytuff.
==============================================================================
Then again to your dungeon. Cross the dungeon as usual. All pokemon
are fire type. After you cross the dungeon, you'll see a Kangaskhan Rock.
Then suddenly you'll hear something...
GROOOOOOOH....!
GROOOOOOOH....!
$AVE P0!NT
==============================================================================
UPPER $TEAM CAVE:
TOTAL FLOOR$: 7 + Steam cave Peak
CLIENT :NONE
BO$$ BATTLE : YES

|Groudon |Ground |30 |
#-------------------------------------------#
==============================================================================
Then you'll again hear that sound like a roar.
GROOOOOOOH....!
Then you'll tell about your experiences from the moment you came to the
foggy forest....the feeling that you were here before....
So off you go to upper steam cave. After crossing the dungeon you'll
reach Steam Cave Peak.
Again GROOOOOOOH....GROOOOOOOH....!! And the ground shakes.
Back at the Groudon Statue, our guild members come and check it.
Then after they go off, you'll see Team Skull fainted. Wow! The Guildmaster
won over them.
Then you'll face Groudon....and the guild members come to the steam cave.
==============================================================================
BO$$ BATTLE GROUDON:
There's no other strategy except either to make him sleep or paralyze
or even put a burn or poison too.
Then just use your most powerful moves, also checking their pp.
You'll notice that he immediately does not attack just after you both
have.
You'll have two chances before he attacks. So it's a great advantage for you.
Then it'll be just too easy. Use Oran berries and Reviver seeds. They are
a must to win.
==============================================================================
After you defeat him, you'll soon be celebrating your victory but.... it'll
suddenly vanish. Then you'll hear a voice which gives you a very $hocking
News. Groudon is just an illusion. (Whaaaa.....t?)
The Groudon illusion was conjured by none other than Uxie. Uxie will
then tell you to leave the place immediately...But your partner convinces it
that you are not there to cause trouble, but just for information.
Then it'll believe you and it welcomes you to the fogbound lake.
$AVE P0!NT
==============================================================================
Your partner wonders that it has become dark outside. Then you'll behold
the Fogbound Lake. A wonder of wonder...It's just incredible.
Floating Volbeat and Illumise on the big Fog Bound lake....So beautiful.
Then Uxie shows you the TIME GEAR of the Fogbound lake. Seeing it,
your heart begins to race...Reason, you don't know.
Uxie guards the Time-Gear. It's the sole reason it is there. Then your
partner explains about you and how you have become a pokemon. Then
it'll answer no. And also it tells that it removes the memories of only fog
bound lake and not all of their memories.
Then suddenly Wigglytuff comes there and thinks that they can't take the
Time-Gear. Then your partner introduces Wigglytuff. Then all the Guild
members come there.
You all enjoy the view and then Uxie will tell that he will not erase
their memories. Then Wigglytuff promises that you all will not reveal
this to anyone.
And so, the guild's long expedition came to an end. And all the members
return to the guild.
The Clouds will lift from the Fogbound lake and it's surrounding areas
in your wonder map.
And that's no the end of it your treasure bag is now BIGGER!!!
HOORAY!!!
